Multiple Apps can point to one database. What happens is that django creates different tables in the database.
It uses this format to create the tables 'appname_modelname' e.g. polls_question Infact, if you remember earlier on before runnung your first "python manage.py migrate". Django told you that you had "unapplied migrations" When you applied the migrations you might have noticed some other tables were created in the database. Tables like auth, session, admin, etc On Wed, 11 Dec 2019, 10:52 am Bruckner de Villiers, < bruckner.devilli...@gmail.com> wrote: > I got to generic views (CBV’s) in part 4 of the Django tutorials and > decided instead of overwriting the function views that I would get some > practice by creating a new app (polls2).
